Does anyone know if this machine uses a VFD system or has a standard Split-Phase motor?

Mike, it took about six months for the indexing to (mostly) stop on our AWS76NW washer. After a year it still hasn't stopped completely, but it's less than 1/8" now.

6 months huh...the indexing has no effect on cleaning and its not a big deal. I am hoping I can get more than a few years out of this washer.

 

[toploader1984]

a few?, this machine should last at least 20 years!!! i am getting the same machine as yours, the base model in a year or so, i have a filter flo rite now. when i get the speed queen i am going to rebuild the filter flo, put a new clutch and everything, use it for things like shop towels and dog beds.

Who was it that had the instructions on cleaning the brake pads when he first got his machine so that it kept the tub from indexing? Was it Jason HQOTS?

 

[nmassman44]

Gawd I remember him. have not seen him on here in ages. Love the name too Jason High Queen Of The South hence the HQOTS

When I adjusted and increased water levels on my duet, I noticed my water bill did go up about 7 dollars per month. It was around 35 and went up to 42.

So what I'm saying, those who have had a front load washer for a while and go back to a TL will see a difference in your water bill (depending on where you live I suppose) I do like the looks of that machine though

 

[nmassman44]

well our water bill includes the sewer bill and it usually runs about $118 every 3 months. Not cheap. The water usage on this water is rated an "average" 31 gallons per load. One thing I will say that it fills up fast. On warm both valves are open fully and it takes about 3 mins to fill. One thing is that with the Max fill the water level is 2 rows below from the top. I stick around and use the handy dandy reset feature to add more water to the top row of holes. I might tinker with the water level switch and rest the screw to fill with more water.

do you know if speed queens washers and dryers are still avalable here in canada?

 

[nmassman44]

if you check the Speed Queen site and click on "worldwide" you will find that Speed Queen is not authorized to sell in Canada. But you can find the same model/machine at the Huebsch site. There are plenty of dealers in Canada. It goes by province.

I used Jeff's new SQ

F/L on Chocolate on a white towel! Spotless results, a SQ is in my future! And I have had the Horizon F/L in my tenants for 10 years now with only a $5 switch going wrong in the coin box! Solid Machines!
